Take-Along Backup.
Always there to save, protect, and then share your digital life.

Life Moves Fast. Don't Miss a Thing.

Seagate's Backup Plus portable drive is the simple way to protect everything on your computer and everything you share online.

Protect all your stuff with fast, flexible backups

Share photos and videos easily to Facebook, Flickr, and YouTube

Automatically back up all the stuff you've shared online

Back up with your choice of a Thunderbolt™ or FireWire® adapter

Do More with Social Networks

You share tons of photos and videos with people on Facebook, Flickr, and YouTube — but do you have your own copies? Backup Plus is the place to preserve what you send out. You can even sync with your personal social media accounts and manage it all from the intuitive Seagate Dashboard.

Works with PC or Mac

Whether you own a PC or a Mac computer, Backup Plus can be used interchangeably without reformatting.

USB 3.0 Plug-and-Play

You can also easily upgrade to Thunderbolt™ technology or FireWire® 800 with add-on adapters (sold separately). And USB 3.0 is backward compatible with USB 2.0.

Share Your Favorite Moments Instantly

Share photos and videos to Facebook, Flickr, or YouTube — simultaneously — right from your Backup Plus drive. Smart integration with popular social media means your memories aren’t "trapped" in your drive, letting you publish them to the network of your choice.

The Experts Love It

With flexible design, fast performance, and helpful software, the new Seagate Backup Plus makes an excellent portable external hard drive for both business and home users alike.

The included file management software will not only schedule backups for you, but it will automatically upload and download photos from Facebook and Flickr.

Quick Info

Cons: Included backup software does not include image/clone capability - which is highly useful for reliable backups, upgrading to SSD and true data protection. This deducted 2-stars from an otherwise outstanding drive.

Other Thoughts: Yes copyright protection favors data only backup... However, some of us geeks have lots of computers and like to upgrade them with Solid State Drives. We also like to know that we can replace a hard drive, push a button and the computer is back up and running. Of course we keep every system and software disk for every computer and file them in CD/DVD notebooks, one for each computer; but, this method of restore (while optimal for initial capability) takes 1-2 days bench time (2-3 hours labor) to fully restore after hard drive replacement or failure. Conversely, using an image or clone file takes 10-minutes labor and 3-4 hours on the bench.

Rating: 5/5Backup plus is great so far.

Pros: Works great, very fast backing up data. I also had a problem with using motherboards USB 3. I had a USB 3 card I put in a expansion slot, at first it did not work I then went to their website and downloaded latest driver update, works very good now. Wish they would update their motherboard drivers mind did not have any. May be the reason some people are having problems.

Rating: 4/5Handy Drive

Pros: Just works right out of the box. I have three of these and no problems. the USB3 interface is very fast. Plenty of storage and great portability. No need for en external power source to carry around.

Cons: Would like a slightly longer cable for better positioning. Maybe 3 feet.

Other Thoughts: The unit is a little lightweight. If you're going to leave this plugged in as a permanent backup, I suggest velcro to hold it into place. If using portable, you may want to stick a couple of rubber feet on it.

Rating: 5/5Fast enough for me

Pros: - 1tb is more than enough music/photo/video storage for the majority users.- Comes with backup software that is easy to remove.

Cons: - No encryption- Would be nice if it came with a protective sleeve of some sort like the old FreeAgent Go once did.

Other Thoughts: Haven't bothered with the backup software that came with drive since Seagate Manager has worked great for me for the past 5 years. Seagate Manager (already installed on the win7 box) picked up the new drive when I plugged it in and began the backup when I clicked start. Nothing crazy. A very simple and organized backup strategy.
